About this product

Product Information

Exciting intellectual frontiers are open for exploration as agenda-setting theory moves beyond its 25th anniversary. This volume offers an intriguing set of maps to guide this exploration over the near future. It is intended for those who are already reasonably well read in the research literature that has accumulated since the publication of McCombs and Shaw's original 1972 Public Opinion Quarterly article. This piece of literature documented the influence of the news media agenda on the public agenda in a wide variety of geographic and social settings, elaborated the characteristics of audiences and media that enhance or diminish those agenda-setting effects, and cataloged those exogenous factors explaining who sets the media's agenda. In the current volume, a provocative set of maps for explicating new levels of agenda-setting theory have been sketched by a new generation of young scholars, launching an enterprise that has significant implications for theoretical research and for the day-to-day role of mass communication in democratic societies. At the first level of agenda setting are agendas of objects --the traditional domain of agenda setting research--represented by an accumulation of hundreds of studies over the past quarter century. At the second level of agenda setting are agendas of attributes --one of the new theoretical frontiers whose aspects are discussed in detail in the opening chapters. Other chapters offer maps of yet other theoretical frontiers, including political advertising agendas and their impact on behavior, the framing of various agendas in the mass media and the differential impact of print and TV, the theoretical role of individual differences in the agenda-setting influence of the news media on the public agenda, methodological advances for determining cause and effect roles in agenda-setting, and the application of agenda-setting theory to historical analysis. This volume is an invitation to others to become active members of the invisible college of agenda-setting scholarship. As such, the goals of this book are threefold: * to introduce a broad set of ideas about agenda-setting; * to enrich the exploration of these ideas by enhancing scholarly dialogue among the members of this invisible college; and * to enhance the discussion of agenda-setting research in seminars and research groups around the world. Agenda-setting has remained a vital and productive area of communication research over a quarter century because it has continued to introduce new research questions into the marketplace of ideas and to integrate this work with other theoretical concepts and perspectives about journalism and mass communication. Understanding the dynamics of agenda- setting is central to understanding the dynamics of contemporary democracy. This book's set of theoretical essays, grounded in the accumulated literature of agenda- setting theory and in the creative insights of young scholars, will help lead the way toward that understanding.

Reviews
"This remarkable compilation of wartime letters is nothing short of one of the most humbling and insightful reads you're likely to come across this year." --David Marx, David Marx Book Reviews, " Reluctant Accomplice is a fascinating, important, and highly readable collection. The documents add depth, complexity, and a tragically human dimension to our understanding of how German soldiers experienced the war on the Eastern Front." --Alan E. Steinweis, Journal of Modern History, "Jarausch's voluminous set of correspondence offers a thoughtful and detailed account of life as a German soldier on the Eastern Front. . . . It shows just how much coming to terms with the Nazi past is still an ongoing process." --Hester Vaizey, European History Quarterly, Thought-provoking in its ambiguities. . . . By age, temperament and conviction, then, Jarausch seemed designed for the role of skeptic about the Nazi regime. Reluctant Accomplice charts the growth of Jarausch's belief that Hitler's war was a disaster, for humanity and for Germany itself. . . . The case of Jarausch suggests that, in a situation where radical evil holds sway, goodness has to become equally radical in order to combat it., " Reluctant Accomplice: A Wehrmacht Soldier's Letters from the Eastern Front (Princeton University Press), is a revealing glimpse into the mind of a patriotic German who was skeptical of the Nazi leadership and soured on the fascist regime."-- Sheldon Kirshner, Canadian Jewish News, "A detailed and disturbing portrait of a so-called average German soldier of the time. . . . Jarausch has edited 350 of his father's letters, sent from occupied Poland and the PoW camps in Russia between 1939 until his death. His father was too old at 40 to be involved in fighting but he was close enough to the front to give gruesome accounts of the enormous Russian death toll in the camps. . . . [W]hat these letters reveal in astonishing detail is that his belief in German superiority begins to weaken as he notices and hears of the murderous German reprisals, shootings and ethnic cleansing." --Louis Nowra, The Australian, "It's difficult or impossible to summon sympathy for a soldier in Hitler's army--even one with no hatred for Jews--but the letters home of Konrad Jarausch do peel away stereotypes." --Neal Gender, American Jewish World, "In this outstanding edition, Konrad H. Jarausch and his assistants Klaus J. Arnold and Eve M. Duffy have done an excellent job. The book contains an impressive biographical essay about the son's search for the father he never knew. Writers may succeed in producing approaches of this kind--at least sometimes. But historians? Usually such attempts fall flat. Yet this edition impressively proves the contrary--it is indeed possible."-- Christian Hartmann, English Historical Review
